Oh, I agree eye witness testimony is almost totally worthless, and I don't know anything about the facts surrounding this purse snatching incident. I am just pointing out the "why" that people who are fed up with our justice system do some of the things they do.
First off, I'm an idiot and don't know how to use mutliple quotes from the same post
1 - If you aren't saying what the woman is justified in doing what she did, should she be held accountable for breaking any laws as the thief? What if she really would of killed the thief? Would death be a suitable punishment for stealing a purse?
2 - I'd respectfully argue that it's not the miscarriage of justice that eats away at the fabric of our morals as a society, but that our morals start first from the family, and it's up to the family to try and raise their children the best they can and pray a lot
The reality is man has been committing sin agasint God and breaking man's law since Caine and Abel. I honestly don't think what our justice system does is going to remedy that, do you?
At least if we lived under a strict Government hand with draconian laws, it would be easier to manipulate the statistics in proving that "hard punishment" really does deter crime because no one would be allow to point on issues on the way they gather their data.
On a sidenote, after looking at the mugshots, ironically enough, both look like they could be boyfriend and girlfriendYes, going off the picture only, my bad.

Ok, i too am an idiot and don't know how to multi quote. Sound like AAAI don't condone vigilante justice and i think there is a lot wrong with our justice and incarceration systems. I don't we are sending too few thru our courts and on to jail, but too many. The "war" on drugs has seen to that. Just warehousing people in these, for profit, prisons hasn't seemed to help, there's got to be a better way.
One thing though on the purse theft, it would be very easy to get a persons home address and get the keys and your on the way to the victims house, that would scare me, possibly to the point of a rash action, not because of the material goods that could be stolen, but my family is very important to me.
I agree. That said, anytime our vehicles leaves our property and we're parked other than in our driveway, my wallet is on me and my wife has her purse (if she takes it) AND the doors are locked without any valuables in plain sight.
This woman apparently left her purse in her vehicle AND the vehicle was unlocked. That's not putting the blame on her for someone elses actions, but common sense should tell you that if you leave a vehicle in a walmart parking lot with the doors unlocked, you may actually run a good chance that someone may open your door and take what you have. Apologies, when I see facial piercings in a mug shot, common sense isn't what first comes to my mind (could be a huge white butt zit, and if it is, I was wrong).
Well, I DO know how to multiquote, but I don't use it very often. Yes those two look like they might be brother and sister or something. :laughing: I know, I know, can't judge a person on their looks. People do judge me on my looks, well.... that, and my Wal Mart attendance.:laughing:
